Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

A salesperson employed by a brokerage must ensure they:

1. Follow guidelines set by the Canadian Real Estate Association

2. Always use the term 'real estate sales advisor' in their title

4. Comply with REBBA registration requirements

5. Use 'broker consultant' as their designated term
